January 1874 French Hair Advertising Broadside by Leon Pelleray & Fils Paris.
A handsome and informative broadside pricing sheet for a Paris hair and wig dealer for the Season starting January, 1874. We had a beautifully illustrated billhead from this firm a few years ago, and the Joseph Downs Collection of Manuscripts and Printed Ephemera at Winterthur holds an illustrated advertisement from the firm dated 1869 which notes that they supplied "hair for men and women, long, frizzed, straight or crimped of first and second quality, priced by weight, partings for ladies called 'cachefolies' (early 19th century name for a lady's wig)". They also sold hairdresser's supplies, including a line of razors.
Single sheet. 10.5”x17”. Folds, edge chips, and short rips; printed on onionskin paper and very fragile. $250
